5. Understanding Enterprise Risk Management @william_newman
Enterprise Risk Management represents a company-wide
approach to risk management activities in a holistic,
pragmatic, and managed approach across multiple company
operations, functions, and activities.

Report, 2011

Enterprise risk management
(ERM) in business includes the
methods and processes used by
organizations to manage risks and
seize opportunities related to the
achievement of their objectives.
7. Executive Challenges Aligning Goals to Actions @william_newman
Challenges remain as to motive, satisfaction and capabilities

the Economic Crisis (March, 2011); Report on the 2011 Accenture Global Risk Management Study, (February, 2011)
which suggests a certain call to action for executives.
Practical knowledge of risk management concepts and
principles are needed in the corporate environment as never
before, and executives have created demand for this
knowledge. How this knowledge is crafted into ERM practices,
standards, and guidelines inside of corporate policy is open for
revision.

ERM is not linked to fundamental value drivers of the business
Shareholder devaluation occurs based on measuring
nonproductive drivers
ERM is not focused significantly or deeply enough on the broad
value-killer, fat-tail risks
SAP recognizes there are 3 primary reasons for ERM failure:

You can identify specific areas of the risk,
associated with organizations and
processes. A common mitigation action
is an audit program, lets see how RM10
works to support audit programs and
functional risk areas.
15. Considerations for Audit Practices @william_newman
Business audits are increasingly standard as a risk management
function across a number of different functions including:
Information Technology (SAS 70, SSAE 16)
Financial Management processes (SOX 404, Dodd-Frank)
Information Use (ITAR, security constraints)
Sustainability (LEED, SA 8000, Natural Step, GRI)
Assurance activities (AA 1000)
Quality Management processes (ISO 9000, CAPA, APQP)
Environmental Management processes (ISO 14000)
Product Compliance Regulations (ROHS, REACH, ELV)
Treasury Management and Currency Exchange (SWIFT)
Audits are not just for IT system management anymore!
16. Considerations for Audit Practices @william_newman
Regardless of the business function or processes, most agree
the audit format contains several common stages and activities.

SAP NetWeavers Audit Management allows full program life
cycle management for internal audit activities, including:
Information Technology
Management Systems, and
Financial Operations

In this example we can associate an Accounts
Payable audit with both financial operations
and even treasury risks if involving foreign
currencies and operating units.
19. During the execution stage of an
audit, work papers often suggest
corrective or preventive actions in
real time.
SAP NetWeaver audit management
allows you to identify these work
papers and capture remediation
actions on the fly so that these can be
automatically summarized in the
findings report.

Functional Risk Management can look at many areas,
including supply chain disruptions due to disasters, business
continuity, and sociopolitical risk

SAP Supply Chain Performance
Management 2.0 allows for supply chain
risks to be mapped to RM10 as part of an
overall ERM program portfolio.
These risks can also be associated with
key risk indicators (KRIs) and SCOR 11
operating models key performance
indicators (KPIs) which can help to
minimize financial and operational
risk targets and increase performance.

24. Case Study How One Organization Got Started @william_newman
Large Multinational Organization
Major SAP transformation underway
Third party purchased existing PC-based
audit software (burning platform)
Looked to leverage AIS function of ECC
(near term) as well as RM10, PC10
capabilities (downstream)
Example audit risk management engagement
Based on this, the organizations
internal audit department looked
at how to leverage Access
Controls, Process Controls, and
NetWeaver Audit Management
with Risk Management 10.
25. Case Study How One Organization Got Started @william_newman
System Topology
The concept of using the
records tracking inside AIS
of ECC 6.0, combined with
the document
management features of
NW Audit Management
was compelling.
26. Case Study How One Organization Got Started @william_newman
System Context
Fortunately the process
for conducting the audit
was reasonably consistent
across business audit
domains. Much of the
system context was on
workflow, approvals.
27. Case Study How One Organization Got Started @william_newman
Permissions
Once roles and workflow
were defined a permissions
matrix was determined based
on modified CRUD-M level
access to audit report and
working papers
documentation.

28. Case Study How One Organization Got Started @william_newman
Other aspects
SAP User Roles would determine AC
permissions for NW Audit Management
based on audit
eventually stage gate position using
PC
Integrated message system between NW
Audit Management and SAP Messaging,
Microsoft Outlook
AIS would feed auditor working papers
based on ISACA T-codes and scenario
basis

30. Key Take Away Points @william_newman
1. There is a great need for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and a lot of
confusion as to what this means. This creates significant opportunity for SAP
and its partners.
2. SAP Risk Management 10.0 offers a great platform to build, manage, and
assess the effectiveness of an ERM program
3. As part of mitigation activities, organizations are looking towards audits to
build these actions into their ERM programs. SAP NetWeaver Audit
Management offers easy to use connections into RM10 and other GRC tools.
4. Functional risk management allows deeper dives into specific
processes, functions and operational activities in the organization.
5. SAP Supply Chain Performance Management 2.0 allows for quick integration
to RM10 risk activities while leveraging the Supply Chain Council SCOR model
and SCRP framework.
